This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Wonder®
*Update! And the winner is…. Deb of the highly acclaimed Deb on the Rocks! Congratulations, Deb!
Do we have any bread lovers in the houuuuuuuse?
Me? I am a HUGE fan of bread. So is my family. Bread is a great vehicle for so many things… peanut-butter, jelly, meats, butter (oh sweet butter…) and let’s not forget a nice little cinnamon-sugar combo when one toasts up a slice of BREAD. Mmmm… yum… cinnamon toast…
We went through a lion’s share of bread this summer. We headed to a local beach quite a bit, and in an effort to save a few extra bucks, we packed sandwiches instead of swinging through a place that would serve us prepared food through a window. IfyouknowwhatImean. I might even go so far as to say we could call Summer 2009 “Our Summer of Sandwiches”.
So, naturally, wouldn’t fate bring bread to me… to write about… to video… to share about it – BREAD… No WONDER! *pun intended*
“But Jenny! Isn’t Wonder® white bread? You feed your kids white bread? Is white bread nutritious?”
Yep. Wonder® is white, and it is deeelicious white bread! Obviously, it’s nummy and soft, but did you know just two slices of Wonder® Classic White Bread have as much calcium as an eight ounce glass of milk (and no trans fat)? It’s a nice alternative.
It is also comparative to the calcium in spinach and red beans. I am not saying to not give milk, spinach or beans to your family… I’m just sayin’, there is another option if you find the kiddos don’t want the green stuff. AND one can easily beef-up a slice of Wonder® Bread with almond butter and a few slices of banana… bada-boom-bada-bing — calcium, protein and potassium to satiate a hungry little belly.
It was no surprise to me that in our own taste-test, my offspring loved the bread. We be bread people. BUT, I got it on video anyway. However, it WAS a surprise to me when my oldest 2 broke out into a little duet. I know I am a bit partial, but my kids are awesome *wipes tear*. Must be those strong bones…
Should I book an agent? *sniff* I smell fame. I will force them to live my dream. Kidding. I’m kidding about “kidding”. Kidding. Not…

We love loaded BLT’s with tons of fresh tomatoes, lettuce, onions and sometimes avocado. Tasty and nutritious.

We love to put veggies such as lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers on our sandwiches to make them more nutitious.
yummy grill cheese with tomatoes!

I like fried bologna and cheese but the kid like p/b and honey. We use cookie cutter to cut out different shapes w/ the sandwiches. Thanks!

I add in extra veggies like red pepper slices, cucumber slices and the usual lettuce and tomato.
My daughter and husband are the beef bologna w/provolone, lettuce and mayo duo! For them, they are the favorite simple sandwiches! (I personally am an albacore tuna on toast, but hey… )
thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Nothing beats a ‘mater sammitch! Hot off the vine ripe tomatoes sliced super thin, with a smear of Miracle Whip or your favorite dressing (try it with ranch) and voila! A summery sandwich to die for.
I tweeted too…

I had to think is there a single thing healthy about the sandwiches we eat? Well… they aren’t so bad. But with a family of 6 it never fails that I am making 6 different kind of sandwiches. My husband likes his open faced, topped with lettuce… less carbs you know.
My son must have ham and cheese. The girls… depends on the day of the week. They are girls… they reserve the right to change their mind at any given moment… without prior written notice.

Lettuce and Tomato
My senior year of high school I used to eat sandwiches that consisted of mayo, cheese, and potato chips! As yummy as those are (or were) I have progressed to turkey, cranberry and creamed cheese.
please enter me. thanks!
I love to add cheese and grill it

The biggest thing we add to our Wonder bread sandwiches to make them healthier is cheese. My kids love all kinds of cheese, and so do I.
We add peanut butter and honey to our Wonder bread. YUM
Mmm, turkey, avocado, lettuce and tomato on Wonder bread is divine.
SPROUTS! We love to add veggies to our sandwiches but sprouts are the family favorite!
Making my children’s lunches every day for school and packing one for my husband for work is alot of sandwiches. This sure would be a HUGE help!
I add red and green bell peppers to chicken salad sandwiches. It adds nutrition and tastes great too.
We like to add lots of deli meat, organic cheese, and mustard. Even our 14 month old loves a good sandwich.
Jenny – I am just back from a a detox retreat that was pretty severe. We lived on carrot juice and volcanic mud for 7 days and I am now a new person (!). I no longer eat bread because it is EVIL.
Seriously I have stopped eating it. After all the lectures we sat through I can’t face it. So my contribution to this is, give it up. Evil grin.

wonder bread builds strong bodies 12 ways so it goes a long way towards making all the sandwiches I serve healthy. I also make sure I use low fat cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on our turkey sandwiches so we get some calcium and some vegetables.

we add raw spinach to make it more nutritious!
I would add PB & J.
My favorite is chicken salad made with low-fat mayo, romaine lettuce and vine ripe tomatoes.
Not at all healthy…my son eats ketchup sandwiches…he’ll eat them, so I am not discouraging yet.

I use Wonderbread with organic peanut butter and low sugar jelly to make my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches more nutritious.
I love WONDER bread. Our all time favorite sandwich is peanut butter and banana sandwich. Homemade peanut butter and fresh bananas.
Oh so good….
